Self-supporting polymeric hollow fiber membranes prepared using non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) often suffer deterioration in mechanical properties due to asymmetric fingerlike and spongelike morphology giving a porous and fragile structure. Hollow braided fibers of Polyethylene terephth...
